After a busy year of running back and forth from school while managing homework assignments and family or personal obligations, summer is the time to take a deep breath and capture those moments where you can truly slow down.
For students who have been busy all year, it is important to find time to do the things you and your family truly enjoy. I always remind parents that our students tend to differ significantly from typical kids when it comes to their feelings about summer break. While some of our students cannot wait for a break from school, many others may feel sad and need some time to process their new schedule and freedom.
